I didn't get a chance to post this on Tuesday!
Here's where the kids are now:
They are about 14 inches tall and 2 lbs. each. Amazingly, they still have room in my belly for acrobatics. We witnessed a full summersault on the ultrasound yesterday. The eyes — which have been closed for the past few months — are now beginning to open. They are now able to see what's going on (unfortunately the view the uterus isn't all that exciting).
The babies brain-wave activity is kicking in, which means they can not only hear noises but can now also respond to them.
I talked to the NICU doctors both days that I've been here. The babies are definitely viable at this point, but it's obviously not ideal for them to come out anytime soon. They would have breathing and eating problems and could have a host of other complications. Every day I can keep them in me, they will gain strength and grow and develop further. Our ultimate goal at this point is 34 weeks, but our first goal is to get to 28 weeks.
Oh, and I forgot to say that we even saw one of the babies eyelashes at the ultrasound. Simply amazing! They looked right at us for a couple shots as well. I will post pictures at some point.
STAY PUT LIL' ONES!!!
